Obituary.
D. H. Stickney, President of the council, died at his residence, on Friday, the 17th, in his fifty-ninth year. His obsequies took place on Sunday the 19th. His body was taken from the Council chamber and followed to the National Cemetery by the largest procession ever witnessed in Tucson.
Mr. Stickney was one of the early pioneers of Arizona, having come to the Territory in 1857. He was elected from Pima County to the First Legislature and has been a member of every subsequent legislature of the Territory. A man of age and experience, identified [sic] with all the interests of the Territory and thoroughly conversant with its history he was unanimously elected president of the Council at the organization of the Sixth Legislature. Universally respected for his industry and strict business integrity; as a public man esteemed for his rigid adherence to principles of economy; as an early pioneer and an honorable man, holding claims upon the population that sprang up around him during a lapse of many years, he leaves behind him a void which there are but few men to fill. In Mr. Stickney a good and useful man has passed away. Requiescat in pace.
